Provides invaluable information for science policy makers, corporate R&D strategists, and anyone interested in identifying emerging research areas.

With Research Fronts, you can:

• Analyze emerging areas of research within broad fields and fast-moving areas of current research.
• Identify authors, institutions, and countries that are actively participating in these Fronts.
• Identify a group of related specialties that make up a subfield.
• Explore the discipline or field structure of science, and beyond that, a global map of current research.

Why choose Research Fronts?

• Access to a complete dataset or subset based on one or more disciplines, countries, institutions, journals or other criteria.
• Complete bibliographic information and citation counts on each core paper; Front names; and number and average year of all core papers within each Front.
• A complementary file of the Citing Papers is an option for each Front.
• Co-citation analysis establishes subject familiarity among highly cited documents by finding pairs of papers that are often cited together by other research papers during a currently yearly time period. You can examine a Research Front consisting of recently citing papers and the core publications that tie them together through co-citations.
